"Cleopatra" is a notable work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a renowned German Renaissance painter and printmaker. Created in 1533, this oil on panel painting is part of a series of works depicting illustrious women from history and mythology, which includes other figures such as Lucretia and Judith. Measuring 37.5 cm by 24.8 cm, the artwork is currently housed in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Germany.

The painting portrays Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, in a moment of tragic introspection as she contemplates her imminent death. Cranach's depiction is rich with symbolic elements that were common in Renaissance portraiture, including the presence of an asp, the snake that, according to historical legend, was the instrument of her suicide. The asp is subtly included in the painting, coiled around Cleopatra's arm, which she gazes at with a mixture of resolve and melancholy.

Cranach's "Cleopatra" is characterized by its fine detail, vivid coloration, and the elegant stylization of the figure, all hallmarks of the artist's mature style. The work reflects the humanist interests of the time, reviving classical subjects with a contemporary sensibility. Cleopatra's attire and the setting do not aim for historical accuracy but rather serve to convey the moral and emotional themes of the story, a common practice in Renaissance art.

The painting is a testament to Cranach's skill in blending Northern Renaissance art techniques with elements of Italian Renaissance aesthetics. It is also an example of the 16th-century fascination with powerful historical women, whose lives were often interpreted through the lens of moral allegory. "Cleopatra" by Lucas Cranach the Elder remains an important piece in the study of Renaissance portraiture and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
